We've Been Bad

Bad bloggers that is, as it has been a while since we have updated. I'm now taking on the mission to make us better bloggers both on here and on ADK Wanderings. It is especially bad that we haven't been blogging since a lot has been going on in the wedding planning. In our last update we mentioned all of the vendors that we had booked already and today we booked another.

The vendor that we booked today is our DJ. His name is Nick Stylker and he comes very highly recommended by the Inn. After talking to him for an hour I know that we are making the correct choice by going with him. I also nailed down who will be playing our ceremony music. We are going with an acoustic guitarist named David Roth. I booked him through Nick and he will also play at the cocktail hour. The only vendor we still need to book is not really a vendor and probably the most important one; We STILL NEED SOMEONE TO PERFORM THE CEREMONY. The Inn listed someone on their recommendation list and Jessica is supposed to be calling her soon. In order to make the process of planning the wedding easier we have split up who is dealing with which vendor. The JP was originally on my list but I have pushed it off to Jessica's. We also need to make sure we get one before we go to the Inn in January. We are going to meet with some of the vendors and plan out the timing of the day with Amie. She said that the timing usually depends on when the JP is available.

In news other than vendors, I bought my wedding dress last week. Of course there will be no pictures of it because Jessica is way to nosy to not look. I will tell you however that I ended up going with a dress from a local shop in Latham, Juliet's Bridal. This Italian women took care of us and I felt like I was in the movie Moon Struck. She just ordered my mother and I around and didn't need to ask my size. She kept tell us that she had been doing her job for 22 years. Also the woman who owns the shop is the one who will do my alterations and this makes me very happy. I'm really glad that I could get it at a local shop as opposed to David's Bridal. Jessica has also selected her dress and she should be off to order it after Thanksgiving. She was originally putting it off until after her last test but now she is just so busy at work. I told her that I will not let it go past Christmas in fear that she won't get it in time. She is ordering her dress from David's but we are looking into getting it altered by a local woman. Someone at work recommended a friend of her's to us who does wedding dresses all the time.

Also a few weeks ago we went and registered at Bed Bath & Beyond. I wanted to be able to post pictures of that experience because it was tons of fun but both times we forgot the camera. Jessica let me play with the scanner the whole time and she got to be list girl. It was awesome and we have been back a few times because I keep changing my mind on which pots I want. I have finally decided and for now I'm satisfied with what we registered for there. We are also going to register at Sears. We were going to do Home Depot but you have to do everything by hand there and we can't do Target because of their donations to the groups who supported Prop 8. So Bed Bath & Beyond and Sears it will be.

I guess that's it for now and we promise to be better bloggers in the future.
